| Who knew recycling trash would create something so powerful. |
 |
| Zanka's therapist: "Fat Rudo isn't real, he can't hurt you" Also love Rudo's reaction when he first eats sweets lmao  |
| Overall, an ok episode. Arkha finally appeared, Rudo’s power is being discovered and the final antagonist kind of appeared. |
 |
| That was a nice chill episode. As a manga reader, I love how they adapted Rudo eating sweets. He really is just a goofy kid beneath all of his anger. We also got many lore drops, which should hopefully pique the interest of anime-onlies. |
| That was one freaky looking walking scene lol |

I really hate this kind of main characters who only scream and are dumb as they get but have the guts. He has to be smacked on the head repeatedly for him to use it and act like a normal human being.

Yeah, and they're so common too. Courage and tenacity are laudable, but I'd appreciate more of other types of MCs.
| @LucenProject they are probably the easiest to write. |
| Oh the pulled the fakeout and Gris lived. I'm glad he's alive but that just lowers the stakes. |
 |
| Zanka not believing his eyes when he saw fat Rudo was admittedly funny. Even more so when his VA started using the "Inosuke" tone. Chill episode for the most part. Almost filler-like, I would say. Gris survived because "shounen" and Rudo spent a fair amount of minutes simply wandering through the headquarters. Last few minutes with him learning more about his power and its limitations were interesting tho. |
| Speak about a cliffhanger, the "Watchmen Series" seems to hold greater power than normal instruments in this world? This was a nice chill episode after the insane action we have had over the past few weeks, and also yah Grsis is alive :}, was kinda expecting that tho tbbh. |
 |
| Good thing Gris is alive, and Rudo looked really stylish in his cleaner outfit Zanka calls himself "average" but I don't think so |
| Making a broken item into a weapon is an incredible skill! |

| Recycle yeah that's basically what Rudo's power is they dropped it casually but that is it. |
 |
| Imagine if there were a Giver whose ultimate weapon was a d!ldo. Bro wouldn’t just be attached... he would be spiritually and physically bonded on a whole other level. The connection would be a little too "deep" between the user and the object. 💀 |

| Gris scared the crap out of me, glad he’s alive! I have a many theories and speculations for what to come but we’ll have to wait and see. |
| ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ |
| Yeah this episode basically had me drop the show. No thanks bossman and no thanks gris not dying. |
| Gris is alive—man, seriously, I cried for you and then you show up like nothing happened. That nurse, Giver, is really good. I like that Rudo’s powers have limitations. He can’t just transform any object—only those that have been discarded or need repair, and only until their usefulness runs out. I really hope those limits don’t get broken too much. |
 |
| Gris survived that. Thank goodness. I was sure he would die, but I'm glad he's fine. Rudo found something he likes here, that is Sweets, and he can't stop eating them. LOL. Expected. We also met the boss of the Cleaners. He seems like a cool dude. Also, we got full extent of Rudo's powers and how they might work. They're cool. |
 |
| I gotta say watching this weekly while binging Demon Slayer is making my head spin. I know shounen be shounen but man the parallels are ridiculous. |

| that walking scene went so hard |
| The cleaner's uniform looks great on Rudo! Also of course the boss had to be hot as well. Gris is alive! Yay! |
 |
| TRASH PEOPLE! TRASH PEOPLE! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I am not surprised Gris is alive but I was hoping for a bit better. Does tell me a bit about the writing of this anime. I guess they were done with all the deaths in the introduction itself. |
 |
| Surprise, Gris is alive, cool. |
 |
| The overwhelming loss of Gris, at least for Kudo, is heartbreaking to bear...but thankfully he's alive lol, thanks to the Cleaners' medical team with Giver Eishia Stilza having her healing powers to revive him. That said, knowing that the Raiders are picking fights with the Cleaners, the reveal of the latter leader Arkha Corvus officially welcoming him into the group, the "border" and the "Ground" becomes his main source of escape back to the Sphere. With a new change of clothes, Kudo is more than ready to tackle the quest. As expected, Rudo only wanting to head back to No Man's Land to find the aforementioned woman, it's a death wish if he goes empty-handed and alone, not to mention the Raiders. Instead, Enjin calling for a rest, and Kiyo showing Rudo around the HQ, even tempting him with rich people sweets that are exchanged with Vianders...that turn him into quite the fat bobblehead. As to exercising Rudo's power, getting a nosebleed if he utilizes the instrument too much, it's better to stick to one and season it to strengthen the bond, but what does the "series" entail that's different about it? Aside from taking care of garbage which utilizes sense of purpose, giving them a name heeds that purpose well into extending their lifespan. The Raiders' boss knowing about Rudo's Watchman series, what secrets do they hide? |
 |
| The other characters are surprisingly smart?? That's refreshing |
 |
| okay i am not getting the hype of this anime. great concept, not great execution. the only praise i can grant for characterisation is rudo really feeling like a young naive teen boy, but i dont really know him apart from that. the other side characters, i know their personalities, but havent really gone deeper with that either. the plot progression has been non-existent ??? im usually a slow-pace defender, but this is NOT in a good way also yeah that intro was so pointless and had 0 comedic effect on me... like why if not for the worldbuilding (or lack thereof?) and zanka, i mightve dropped by now lol idk this could be a production issue or the manga could also have the same issues, havent read yet |
| If the Raiders have the girl with the portal power as a really great asset as a whole, the Cleaners' great asset would be the girl who can heal up a man who's already a step into death's door. Either Eishia is THAT powerful, or the show decided to make Gris' entire 'sacrifice' as a lame joke. Nevertheless, it's good that he's still alive, even if he were to die, I'd say it's too early for me to feel devastated over it. Welp, the Cleaners' Boss decided to show, and he's pretty nonchalant. I thought he'd be a radically quirky character or some silent overpowered badass, but so far, he's quite chill. Once again, the Cleaners' organisation as a whole is quite lax when it comes to their members' actions, huh? Rudo essentially just got the vital information that he needed, and the boss let him decide for himself to either stay or leave and even when Rudo chose to leave, the higher up is not stopping what could potentially be the Cleaners' greatest giver leave for good. HOLY CRAP It took 8 episodes for Rudo to finally have the opportunity to be a Cleaner and be trained in harnessing his giver power as well as identifying the nature of his vital instrument. The pair of gloves that're apparently from the "Watchman Series'. His circumstances are unique as he's capable of imbuing and manipulating at least from what we see here up to 3 discarded items/ broken items/ trash into vital instruments before he bleeds out. And I was right to think that the items that he used crumbled away after he fulfilled their full worth, which is a good balance to how limitless his options for combat are. But that begs the question... If the items Rudo turns into vital instruments don't get used up, do they still remain as such and not crumble away? If yes, then Rudo can simply stock up on an unlimited number of vital instruments outside of combat, which would be awesome! Another question... There's no doubt that Rudo's gloves are of an immensely high quality since he's had them on him since he was much younger, but would their power increase dramatically if he were to name it? And does the fact that it's a pair of gloves mean that he essentially has 2 PERMANENT VITAL INSTRUMENTS at all times? Well, all these questions may or may not get answered, but Im just gonna call it, the Raiders' boss is Rudo's father. Either that or he's a red herring for the audience. |

| I mean I'm really liking this show, but Gris could have died it would be great for character building.. of course this is a shonen lol. |
